Ok so I'm REALY in the need of a new accustic guitar, and have heard good things so far about the new GFS ones. Well for the cost it's worth a shot..... Ok the problem comes in here.... Lookin at the musican friend web site and they have the little 5wt fender champ for only $119!!!!! I've been looking for a small simple tube amp for awile now, and that's a killer price!!! So.... Now where do I spend my guitar money??? Auuuugh. The tough choices we guitar players must make!!

Yeah I'm with you here, I understand your predicament. People really don't appreciate the stress we go through in having to make such decisions as to how we spend our money. There is so much stuff we want, sorry i meant to say need. Oh well, I'm sure you'll come to the right decision.

Believe me when I tell you this: even the budget companies occasionally come up with a factory freak that plays absolutely great. Pick a brand and model...and start looking at them from store to store.

Yeah, WOW, maybe it is a good time to go for that hot, most desirable amp!

Perhaps you can get a good, not just decent, but a good acoustic guitar used.

Like a bird on the wire,like a drunk in a midnight choirI have tried in my way to be free.

Ya I'm thinking that also. I have heard they are pretty nice... But as you know what one person likes another doesn't. So not being able to hear it first.... Well you know the drill. Accustic guitars are tough... Each has its own sound.

I'd imagine the acoustic to be tough to buy online. I've gotten decent electrics from them, but acoustics are a different breed. Still, if you need an acoustic and their exchange policy isn't bad, why not? Have you seen any demos on youtube yet? I have not seen or looked for any yet. I've really gotten to like the one I have now and hope to hang on to it for years.

I've seen those 5W champs in Best Buy before, although not lately. They're everywhere. Just not at that great price.

Good luck whichever way you go!

MF will likely do you free shipping too so add $20 to that GF acoustic. On the other hand, with where you live if you order from GF you will hear the package hit your steps seconds after you push the buy button. Seriously, I just ordered some parts and by the end of the day they were in Latham NY. Seriously as well, I am an electric kind of guy so my opinion is bias. I suppose either one?
